Intense Rain (Review)

Intense Rain (Yaoi)Intense Rain by Shinri Fuwa

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Five years after a very painful breakup Ryuuji finds himself working in the same school his philandering ex, Takaaki is currently teaching. But he soon realizes that the Takaaki he knew has changed and matured; and though Ryuuji fears pain and betrayal again if he gives in to his lingering feelings for Takaaki-this time he's willing to take the risk and not run away again.





Bonus story: Because I Said I Definitely Like You



Kei, a high schooler, has a one night stand with Satoshi, a businessman in his 30's. Thinking he's found the one, he gets a rude wake up call-literally-when he finds himself alone in bed the next morning. It turns out that Kei's older brother is Satoshi's colleague and friend; but the bigger surprise is when he discovers Satoshi harbors feelings for his older brother. But that isn't the only obstacle in Kei's path to attain Satoshi as his own; b/c Satoshi has known the heartbreak that love can bring and he isn't willing to go through it again.



These were nice stories about giving love a second chance. This manga was sad, sweet, and funny at times and definitely a nice addition to my ever growing yaoi collection.
